Post a photo of the last thing you made

Only a couple of little bud vases today, I think the wood is eucalyptus of some sort but could be wrong.

absolutely fab .. I am currently working on scorching wood to bring out the grain sanding it down, scorching it again, staining it with deep rich red mahogany, and a couple of coats of good quality yacht varnish for my camper trailer, and with pallet wood, it is yielding fantastic results. We've only made a center roof support beam which I would have to lie on my back and take a pic of, but I will upload a pic of the next fitment. If my wife saw me lying on the floor of the trailer ( if that were possible due to my disablement ) she would accuse me of not taking my pain meds and replacing them with Mcallan Malt Whiskey and not talk to me for a week ( hey that's just gave me a good idea ) I might just post a pic of it lol.

Anyway, your pics show your eye for detail and perfectionism and they are flawless in my opinion.

This has kept me busy for the last couple of months, from Lost Art Press design.

Here is some inspiration . A bud vase turned on two axis.

Using up some of my bits again. Sometimes the wood just says it all.

Beautiful. May I ask what wood that is. Yew?

Well that's a headscratcher for sure

Today's bud vase from another piece of what may be a eucalyptus of some sort.

Thank you. Yes it's locally sourced yew.

From today, here's the Flying Bowl.
Yes, you've guessed right, it flew off the lathe just as I was about to finish it off! It's a good job no-one else was in the shed with me at the time. All my own fault.

What did you burn the line with? Broken pieces of formica are good for that, and more controllable on a curved surface (although that's quite flat) than a wire.

Hi Phil, I used a bit of solid core copper wire. I'd watched a video on YouTube the other day (I think it was Mike Peace) and he showed how to do it. I'd tried before but never managed to burn the line, the tip was to make sure that a good amount of the wire was in contact with the wood.

I'm with Phil on this. I use formica scrap for my burn lines and it is simple and safe (fire precautions accepted before anyone gets in there) YT example as per link

 

[Andy's Shed]

Thanks both for the formica tip, it's not something I'd heard of before.

The grain pattern in the seat of fantastic.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

An advantage of formica over wire is that it's easier to burn a line on a slope.

just completed for a client who wanted these for his bedroom system (!):

Nice how the grain pattern match and flow

Front face and plinth I used medium density cluster Pippy Oak. The rest was Crown cut Oak with European solid Oak framing. Finish was 10 coats of liberon fine finishing oil, lightly rubbed back and after curing, several coats of Caurnuaba and Beeswax for a natural sheen and once cured, a lovely smooth finish.
